Actually 9.11. Higher than Scott!

Nice try. Sam is actually 9.41, Kye 5.46. Your figure of 8.34 for Joshie is correct. I suspect folk are forgetting to add the two meetings at the beginning of the rolling averages back in, when deducting Eastbourne results....

Or once Poole are in the NDL?

Nope, never said anything of the kind. But its true that two young Aussies, maybe from towns thousands of miles apart and even if they've never met before arriving here, are more likely to bond than (say) a German with a French lad, or a Swede with a Dane. Australians do tend to stick together over here.

Dany correct at 5.94, but Tommy J is actually 7.10. So still wouldn't fit!

Shouldn't this thread be transferred to the Championship pages?

As highlighted by CatchMe, Ricky Wells will report on a CMA of 6.59. Giving Bandits 12.75 to play with for two remaining riders.

Since everyone is remembering my first posts here, l would plead guilty, and remind them of this one, too!

No place accurate -- Ed's average is 8.62 (less any GB discount)

Near as dammit. Actually 5.70

Well, while my earlier statement of expectation was correct at the time of posting, since then the Premiership - despite crying out for more tracks - have seemingly closed ranks to refuse Oxford admittance to "the club". Thus, despite a wish to come back as a PL circuit, the new Cheetahs will therefore indeed now be welcomed to the "better league". I turn out to be wrong in my earlier post, and apologise. Glad to have a new, vibrant, organisation joing to CL tho.....

Virtually all your averages are incorrect. The 2022 starting figures will be calculated with all Eastbourne matches deleted. You also need to remember the GB riders' discounts.

Bomber 8.11, Leon 6.04 & Kyle 3.60. All three would qualify for any discount on offer to British riders who have raced at NDL level in the past.

And, after a handful of optimism sweeties, you might expect Bomber's average to go up a tad, too, given half his matches will be at Shielfield. A track made for his style of racing.

The announcement this morning that Kyle Bickley will be back in 2022, not just as a member of the Bandits, but to captain the Bullets too, is great news for Berwick supporters -- and good news too, for everyone looking forward to another good year of NDL competition throughout the UK.

The extra-good news in the latest announcement is the that the Bullets will still be firing, as well as the Bandits! Spring can't come quick enough........

We'll see. Remember this post.

Wrong threàd. They wont be Championship.

By mid-summer, Bomber and Leon will be virtually auromatic selections for Heats 13 and 15........ Looks like Saturday night could be quite a Party!

That is correct. The figures I quote are those these two riders will have applied against them, should they join a Championship team in 2022. All other riders' averages have been adjusted accordingly, and will hold averages which avoid any Eastbourne involvement in their figues.

The only riders with averages above 3.00 who raced for Eastbourne (but didn't go on to confirm pukka averages elsewhere after the closure) were Eddie Kennett and Kyle Newman. Ed would be 8.62 if he comes back in 2022, Kyle will be 5.16.

I think you'll find Berwick are a little more financially circumspect in such matters

Too many to mention, but not all will be serving after ten on a Tuesday.... Except maybe Wetherspoons.,.,.

Getting the bus into the city from airport will be easy, and the town will have its hat on to welcome you... Well, maybe the welcome's for Joe Biden, Macron, Erdogan, Trudeau, Boris, Prince Charles, etc and the 25,000 delegates, but..... So just walk about a fine Victorian city centre and enjoy the ambience. Plenty of restaurants and pubs, etc. As someone said, you need face-masks to go into shops, onto public transport, etc. Take a taxi to the track, cheap as chips for the short journey. Enjoy the city!

Bandits' fans being urged to vote for Rider of the Year per club website now, trophy to be presented at End of Term Party on November 6th. Tickets for party also on sale on website.
